On Wednesday, June 8, 2016, just after midnight, Schaumburg Fire Department companies were dispatched to the SB IL Route 53 local lanes, just past I-90, in response to a fire in a semi-trailer. Upon arrival, crews discovered a 40-foot trailer that was nearly fully loaded with commercial uniforms, engulfed in flames. Battalion 5 requested a tanker from Long Grove and Elk Grove Township to supply Engine 52 with two lines of water. Schaumburg Engines 51 and 54, along with Squad 55, were already on scene and had exhausted their tank water.
Rolling Meadows Engine 16 and Hoffman Estates Engine 21 also arrived to assist with manpower during the nearly two-hour operation to remove the smoldering contents of the truck. Additional support came from Schaumburg Trucks 52 and 53, as well as Ambulances 53 and 54. Firefighters worked through the night, using saws and tools to cut into the trailer and carefully remove the damaged cargo.
Several photos captured the efforts of the firefighters, including images of a Long Grove fire department tender supplying water, Schaumburg Truck 53 on site, firefighters using a tower ladder bucket to cut into the trailer, and a dramatic shot of the burning trailer on the highway. Other images showed firefighters at work late into the night, sparks flying as they used equipment to dismantle the vehicle, and others emptying the smoldering contents. Additional shots included an Elk Grove Township FD Tanker 11, Schaumburg Engine 51, and Squad 55 in action.
